OFFICER COLLINS CAPTURE.
He Mysteriously Disappears for

He Mysteriously Disappears for
Week but Returns With Prisoner.
Policeman James Collins was excused
from duty about a week ago and he dis
appeared. No one knew where he had gone
OF what he was about, but the general sup
position was that he was sick. He was the
lawyer and general adviser of the Grand
Tycoon Club, which is a mystic organiza-
ton whose secrets are known
only within the barracks walls,
but not member of the club
knew what had become of Collins. The
boys were beginning to feel uneasy about
him, but Sunday night he walked in with
a sheeplsh sort of air, and sat down without
saying a word Immediately his friends
gathered about him TO learn the secret of
his long absence, and after blushing and
stammering for while he
managed to make it known that
on Thursday morning last Officer
James Collins of Savannah and Miss
Annie Burke, of New York, were united in
the bonds of matrimOny at the Cathedral
in this city. The establishment that oyer

had slipped away and married without let

Tycoons resolved that he should suffer
for it, and they had mapped out
programme which was to have
been put into execution last night, but
Officer Collins came walking in with a box
of cigars under his arm and everything was
forgiven. There is not man on the force
who does not emphatically declare that Col
Inns has made the best capture that he has
made since he has been a policeman.

Where to Run Sleeners.

The Chatsworth accident of a few weeks
ago was followed by demand in some of
the papers that sleeping cars should be run
at the front instead of at the rear of trains,
the argument being that their great weight
and strength caused them to crush through
the lighter coaches in front in case of the
sudden stoppage of the train. The recent
disaster on the Chicago and Atlantic pre-
sents an argument for exactly the opposite
theory. This was a rear collision, and it is
shown that the two heavy sleepers at the
end of the train acted as a buffer to the
tremendous shock of the colliding engine
and train, and not only withstood the blow
so that their passengers escaped without in
jury, but interviewed so as to prevent more
complete destruction of the cars in front.
As there is no means of foretelling whether
an accident to a train will originate from
the front or rear, it is evidently not possible
to decide beforehand which is the safer posi-
ton for the sleeping cars.

on her way down the river stopped at the

one took header and went over the gun

Danger in Electric Wires.

Several shocking and fatal accidents have
been reported recently through the country
as the result of touching wires charged
with the electric current for lighting pur-
poses, and all persons should be on their
guard against coming in contact with
such wires, as under certain circum-
stances the result would be instant death.
In one case a man walking along the street
saw an electric light wire which had beeu
crossed by a telephone wire hanging broken
and burning. Taking hold of it out of
curiosity he was frightfully burned in the
hands, and in his struggles to drop the wire
was still more fearfully burned on the face
and head, receiving injuries which it was
thought might prove fatal Similar in
stances have not been unfrequent. Elec
tricity is proving wonderfully useful SER
want to man, but it must not be forgotten
that it retains a terrible power for evil.

GEN. ALEXANDER SAYS NO.
He Contradicts the Rumor of Deal
With the Richmond nnd DanVille


With the Richmond and Danvtlle.
Gen. Alexander returned to Savannah
yesterday morning and he was asked
whether there is any truth in the reports
that the Central is trying to dispose Of the
Port Royal and Western Carolina system.
There have been rumors to the effect That
the Central was not altogether SATISFIED
with its Carolina roads, and that as the
Richmond and Danville would consider
it valuable acquisition, itwas not improb-
able that the latter would soon become pos
sessed of it. With this rumor comes the
news that the Central wants the Brunswick
road, which is controlled by the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia.
and that it would like to make ''swap."
Gen. Alexander left the city Saturday
night and did not return until yesterday
morning, and his flying trips" were taken
as intimations that something was in the
wind. In reply to these rumors, he said,
that there is no truth in the statement that
the Port Royal and Western Carolina sys-
tenn would 90 to the Richmond and Dan
vile. The Central has made no move in
that direction and is not considering the
matter.
lis it not true that the Richmond and
Danville has bought some of the Port Royal
and Western Carolina stock recentlyF' was
asked.
81 do not believe it is, though l cannot
say positively whether it has or has not.
do not see why it should however The
Central owns controlling interest and the
Richmond and Danville cannot get more
than minority interest, and | cannot see
why it should buy minority stock which is
non-dividend paying"
as there no truth in the report that the
Central wants to swap the Port Royal and
Western Carolina for the Brunswick roadP
Gen. Alexander laughed and said; Don't
you see that that is impossible. The Bruins
wick system is controlled by the East Ten
nessee Virginia and Georgia. and the Port
ROYAL and Western Carolina would be of
no use to 1t, and certainsly we could not
make the exchange by giving the Rich
mond and Danville the Port Royal and
Western Carolina, and taking the Bruins
wick from the East Tennessee Virginia and
Georgia. You do not think the East Ten
nessee Virginia and Georgia would consent
to that do youW

Until Next Spring.

The Autumn Flower Show Postponed
Until Next Spring.
A special meeting of the Savannah
Floral and Art Association was held last
night at Armory Hall to decide in regard
to the fall exhibition, which was announced
for Nov 2, and 4. The attendance was
not large The association decided, after
hearing the report of its committee on
place for the display, to postpone the exhibit
ton until spring 1t will be held about the
middle of April probably in Armory Hall
ana yard. The difficulty that the associa-
ton had in connection with the fall exhibit
was the securing of suitable place to hold
it. Armory Hall was counted upon, but
it cannot be secured on the dates desired,
nor at any time long enough to hold the ex-
hibition. An effort was made to secure
some other place, but none available could
Ice had Catholic Library Hall and the
Guards Armory were suggested, but were
not deemed suitable places. This fact, and
also the scarcity of flowers at the time of
holding the exhibition influenced its post
ponement.
The management will endeavor to make
the spring exhibition greater success than
any which the Association has yet held.

DROWNED OFF A LIGHTER.
An Unknown Negro Lost at the Gen.
trail Cotton Press Wharf

An unknown negro was drowned early
yesterday morning from lighter lying on
the outside of the British steamship Glen
Tanar, loading cotton at the wharf of the
Central Press for Antwerp. The negro had
taken the place of another negro named
Middleton, who is employed by Messrs
Neil a. Kehoe, to work out the day for him
He was working on the western end of the
lighter, which was loaded with cotton for
the Glen Tanar, and was apparently green
at the business, as, after attaching the
hooks to bale of cotton which was to be
hauled aboard the steamship, he clutched
the bale and held on to it and was partly
drawnup the side of the ship, He finallylet
go his hold on the bale and fell backward
into the river A very strong current
was running down the river, and the body
must have been drawn under the lighter as
it did not appear above the surface. The
negro's cap was found some time atterward
floating on the water. Another lighter lay
Just astern of the one from which he fell, so
that if the body went under tine first lighter
it was almost impossible, even if the man
could swim, for him DO save himself

The negro Days who shot Sam Robin
son at Buzzard Island on Saturday, is sup
posed to be in the city, but he has not been
arrested. The wounded boys father went
out to Cattle Park yesterday morning with
a warrant for Days but upon his arrival
there he learned from the man King, who
was in the boat with him just before the
shooting occurred, that Days had gone
into the city. The boys father re-
turned in the afternoon and re-
ported to Justice Molina, who issued
the warrant. An officer was sent out and
Days will probably be arrested to-day.
Days claims that the shooting was acct
dental; that he shot at some hogs and the
boy lodged in front of the gun just as he
fired. Robinson is lying at the Georgia In
Urinary, and if he lives will probably lose
the sight of both eyes.
